Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use: | Record the intention of treatment at the commencement of second-line treatment for cancer. Do not update the record if the intention of treatment changes during the course of second-line treatment. Prophylactic treatment is treatment to prevent the occurrence or spread of disease which is not for the purpose of curing the disease or managing patient symptoms. Curative treatment is any treatment which aims for long-term survival (over 2 years) for a significant proportion of those patients treated curatively. Palliative treatment is any treatment where the intention is to relieve symptoms and possibly prolong life, but where long-term survival is highly unlikely. |
